Methods of growing static
Stats are grown from seeds in home greenhouse conditions in any climatic region. Specialists do not advise you to try to multiply this plant by dividing the bush due to the peculiarities of its root system, which is long restored and practically does not tolerate transplants.
Static seeds are elongated ribbed shells, the upper part of which cannot be considered. They are very difficult to germinate, therefore gardeners are recommended for their sowing on them emery paper, after which it is immediately soaked in wet sawdust and epine. You can buy static seeds in any gardener store. Some plant seeds in February or in March first in plastic, but better in peat cups (it is necessary that the fragile root plant of the plant does not injure when transplanting), if in the future static will grow in the open soil or pots if the plant is room. Note that each seed should be planted in a separate container with loose soil, which in turn can be purchased in special stores. Some mix such a soil with sand and conduct a special procedure:
- Sift the substrate so that there are no twigs, lumps and other garbage.
- Heat in the oven.
- Spring by manganese (it is necessary that the fungus and pests in the soil do not occur).
- Moisturize clean water room temperature.
After the seeds are planted, you need to cover the pots or glasses with polyethylene and put them in a warm place. Every day they need to be tired and check the degree of soil moisture. This is done to avoid the formation of mold. If the soil dried greatly, it must be sprayed with warm water. If you do everything right, then after 10 days you will already see the first sprouts, if something was broken, then shoots will appear only three weeks. Some amateur gardeners are trying to accelerate the germination process with an artificial way. To do this, they every day for 5 hours a day warm the tanks with a sediment of a regular lamp, from which daylight comes.

- Each plant should grow apart 30 cm away from each other. It is important for the development of stems and flowers.
- The lime soil must be drained in advance and ensure that the static will grow in the place where the moisture will be formed.
